CHADRON, Neb. - The Chadron Police Department is announcing their participation in the upcoming Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Crackdown event, occurring between Dec. 12, 2025, and Jan. 1, 2026.
Impaired Driving is dangerous and carries with it many penalties, not the least of which could include fines, jail time and legal fees and license penalties. The Chadron Police Department encourages all members of the public to always find a sober driver and drink responsibly. According to NHTSA, every day about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes, which comes out to one person every 45 minutes. In 2020, 11,654 people in the US died from drunk driving crashes. Those deaths were all preventable, driving impaired is never permissible.
Between Dec. 12, 2025, and Jan. 1, 2026, the Chadron Police Department, through grant funds provided by the NDOT, will increase the number of officers patrolling at any given time. Increasing the number of officers on patrol will allow enhanced focus on searching for drunk and impaired drivers. Remember, drive sober or get pulled over.
